Here’s the progress. Yesterday I worked on their skin and lips and the background. I am keeping the painting style loose on this one. This is more my style. I had started painting my portraits with such detail that they started to look like photographs. Nothing wrong with that, just not what I’m interested in. I think I wanted to see if I could make everything look really real, and I can, which is nice to know. There are some minor adjustments I’ll make to their chins but that’s about it for their skin/faces. I haven’t done anything to their eyes or teeth yet other than measure measure measure to make sure their lips were right and Sophias eyeballs were in the right place. She looks a little sleepy right now, but here eyeballs are in the right place. Gabby’s good, and beautiful. I like how their hair, faces, and bodies blend into each other.
